## Creating a generic type
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Let's create a simple type that will work with the inbuilt features of Silverstripe CMS.
|
||
|
|
We'll define some languages based on the `i18n` API.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*app/_graphql/types.yml*
|
||
|
|
```yaml
|
||
|
|
Country:
|
||
|
|
fields:
|
||
|
|
code: String!
|
||
|
|
name: String!
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We've defined a type called `Country` that has two fields: `code` and `name`. An example record
|
||
|
|
could be something like:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
[
|
||
|
|
'code' => 'bt',
|
||
|
|
'name' => 'Bhutan'
|
||
|
|
]
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That's all we have to do for now! Let's move on to [building a custom query](building_a_custom_query) to see how we
|
||
|
|
can use it.
|
||
|
